As shiatty as the conservatives behaved before election night, they are opening up a whole new chapter on Biblical assholiness.

Is Dick Morris the only slimey sh*tstain who apologized for being such a wrong dickhead? There are thousands of them, but Toesucker Prime is the only one I've seen own up to be being a full-fledged f*ckbag.

Hah. Isn't that the kind of behavior you'd expect from a take-change businessman who knows his way around a profit-loss sheet and knows when to throw the hoi-polloi to the wolves to save the Big Picture?

Sucks to be those people who bought into the lie, but the rich Job Creators will never, ever have anyone's best interests at heart but their own.

What's he got to lose anyway? He's done as far as ever running for anything again. Why would he give a rat's ass about it. The only thing he has to worry about is the people who gave untold millions, the Koch brother and the like that supported him. He knows his goose is cooked.

The schadenfreude is just getting too delicious. I just think about all those cute executive assistants who must've thought Romney was SO presidential and Ryan was SO dreamy having to dig out cash for their cab fares and get all giggly.

rynthetyn:If you don't want people writing tell all books about the clusterfark that was your campaign, you don't screw your most loyal staffers over on election night.

On the one hand, this is exactly how you (nowadays) let people go from a company - the risk of them going back to their desks and wiping hard drives / stealing data / buying crap on the company card is high enough that it's more prudent to just fire them and remove the opportunity.

On the other, this is the difference between lowly staffers in politics and lowly workers in a company - if some middle manager in a company Bain buys is poorly treated on the way out, no-one's going to care about the dirty secrets he knows. If it's a staffer that has juicy quotes from Paul Ryan, though, someone's going to give him a couple thousand bucks for his book.

Eh, their job was done and the campaign finance people were just trying to head off human nature (i.e. let's spend this shiat!). You don't expect to be able to hang out at the office and use the copier after you are let go/fired.
